Concern grows for missing Shrewsbury man
Concern is growing for the welfare of a Shrewsbury man who went missing in the early hours of yesterday morning.
Simon Rothwell, who is in his mid 30s, was last seen at 12.30am on Friday 3 February when a taxi dropped him off on Abbotts Road in Monkmoor after a night out.
However, at approximately 7.45am the same morning several of his personal belongings were found in the Castle Walk area near the River Severn.
Police, friends and family have been trying to trace Simon, as of yet there have been no sightings of him since he went missing.
A police spokesman said:
"Simon's family and friends are becoming increasingly concerned for his welfare and we are keen to find him as soon as possible.
"His disappearance is most out of character.
"Simon is described as being white, 5ft 8inches tall, as having a ‘stocky' build and short brown hair. When he was last seen Simon was wearing a dark coloured jacket,
beige cords and black boots.
"Anyone who has seen Simon, or who knows where he is, is urged to contact police officers in Shrewsbury as soon as possible on 101 or 0300 333 3000."
